This module provides a space for clients to upload files over HTTP, as
used by [Conversations](http://conversations.im/).

The module can either be configured as a component or added to an
existing host or component.

mod\_http\_upload relies on Prosodys HTTP server and mod\_http for
serving HTTP requests. See [Prosodys HTTP server
documentation](https://prosody.im/doc/http) for information about how to
configure ports, HTTP Host names etc.
